I absolutely positively love love love that strawberry jumper. I’m just a tiny bit older than you and strawberries were so popular in my youth. Well done Philip.
Stephanie, you have a BEAUTIFUL voice! Thank you for the lovely serenade! And also for the history that you always share about these amazing places you travel to! There is a tremendous amount of walking out there, but totally worth it! The Kilt fabric Philip chose is beautiful ! We look forward to seeing the finished work! Thank you for sharing that experience with us♥ Raven💕
One of your most brilliant vlogs ever! I enjoyed Stephanie singing, along with all the footage of places I would love to visit. Simply beautiful and well put together.
I'm a huge Diana Gabaldon, Outlander fan. I've read all the books and when the movie series came out, and I heard that song the first time, it was just haunting. Thank you for singing it here. Scotland is like a magical place. Phillip, my son has a few kilts. We ordered a full dress kilt with everything, including the shoes, from a family in Scotland that hand makes it all. It was for my son's wedding. He looked spectacular! The castle is lovely. Very warm and inviting, which, I imagine, is not easy to do! I love that fact that every time you get on the train, they are standing there handing out whisky! You are being very pampered!
This was so beautiful, every second of it thank you Stephanie, thank you. You sing like an angel. And what a beautiful song as well perfect for the isle of Skye. Now I’m going to watch it again.
The variety that Chateau Diaries presents is truly remarkable. This is one of the all-time best videos. I would love it all, but to be let loose in that shop would be heaven. If only l was in Philips shoes being measured for a kilt, and then have a Chateau to wear it at. Well, l can only dream. Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey.
Thank you Stefanie for all you do, all the beauty you show us and today let us hear and see. Few people kan invigorate and enthusiastically tell the tales of history as you do. You and Phillip are a wonderful match and show us all such wonders in the world. I’ve been watching your vlog long before you met Phillip and enjoying it every day❤ Mark
Skye is beautiful went there about 10 years ago. I still have my Mother’s kilt from this establishment. Autumnal is a more descriptive word than fall. I like the strawberry jumper. 😊
Oh Stephanie, I got all choked up when hearing your lovely song, during a beautiful walk, you are such a dear and loved treasure to so many Love and respect from Canada ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Oh you must sing some more. You have a beautiful voice.It's been a long time. Does phillip have any musical talent.?? I'm in love to see you too. Do a do it.. Singing together. Philip that Kilt you bought it's going to be beautiful you must model. ❤❤❤. I'm living through you now. I'm too old to travel. Then I have trouble walking..
@@raynonabohrer5624 Phillip has a lovely singing voice too and there is one or two vlogs from a few years ago when he was in a musical. He was also in a band when much younger.
Although you have a lovely singing voice, I'm glad you only sang one verse of the Skye song. Wow - so many orchids in that castle! Great tartan choice for the kilt Phillip.
Wow,My husband now wears kilts after I told him about Sadie Petherick's Russian biker friend, Stanislav whose UA-cam channel is 8Garage. He has been seen doing handywork wearing a utility kilt. When I told my husband how handsome Stan looked, he immediately bought two utility kilts (he's 64 yrs old whereas i'm a decade younger) and he has since bought more including the Irish Heritage tartan as he has Irish blood.
Loved the glimpses of Scotland! Your singing was wonderful Stephanie, can’t wait to see your kilt Philip and enjoyed the strawberry jumper. Thank you for including us! ❤️❤️
The castle is absolutely beautiful. What an amazing home love the decor. You singing that beautiful Scottish song just made my day. All so uplifting and so needed. Thank you for bringing so much beauty, joy and light.❤️
Stephanie, so awesome of you to take us along on this once in a lifetime getaway. Thank you for singing the Skye song as well, inspired by the landscape.
Absolutely loved the tour of the castle, I would have lingered so long in every room there. Thank you for sharing this holiday with us. It was a lovely to hear you sing the Skye song so beautifully. Get well soon Phillip
So sorry Philip got sick but glad by Thursday he felt better. The whole trip has been fabulous! I was especially touched by your Scottish song Stephanie. You have an amazing voice & I would love to hear it more often. Wonderful vlog…one of my favorites! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for filming every day of this trip❤ It’s a wonderful journey for us viewers also🥰 I love the fabric Phillip choose for his kilt, it was stunning. He’ll look great at the guest dinners wearing that one 😊
Stephanie, has anyone ever told you, you should write a book or do storytelling? You have such a marvelous way of wording things and your voice lends itself to telling stories. It’s a wonderful gift 🥰🥰. Love this journey in Scotland ❤️
Why is everyone shocked at Stephanie's beautiful singing?! She's a theater kid, she even went to college for it. She used to sing in the Grand Salon for guests all the time. Are most people here new??
Yes I believe it was a Nick spotting!! STEPHANIE what a fantastic journey shared today. By the time that you/we got to the smoking room of the castle I realized that I was holding my breath with anticipation and the thrill of it all!!!!! Best narrator and guide EVER. www got to experience and to see Scotland like never ever before. You are seriously enchanting😊 ❤❤❤❤
I think this channel has started to naturally change from early blogs of LaLande, to an amazing travel vlog with Steph,Philip, and possibly various guests
Greetings from Lake Arrowhead. I imagine if someone got up as early as you did for a walk, thought that they heard an angel singing. They'll be telling that tale for the rest of their lives. Wish you would sing more often and with Philip. 💜🦝
Stephanie, love the way you talk through the blog, the way you manipulate the words keeps the interest alive. Your voice is so clear and musical, .can’t get enough of lallanders, including the lovely pets
In general I love the vlogs at Lalande the most, but boy, these are treats… such beauty, authenticity and luxury, just wow. Thank you SO much for sharing this all with us. Please Philip, don’t let a kilt catch you another cold… 😜 💞🫶💞
It’s such a shame that Philip has been unwell during most of this fascinating trip, but thankfully he is looking much better in this vlog. Thank you for bringing us along. Stephanie’s melodious voice was a real treat in song🥰
How exciting is this trip, very! Loved going along with you all on this journey. Beautiful singing as you walked over the bridges to Skye. I’m sorry Philip has been poorly. Thank you.
Wow, to see a house with generations of everything was wonderful. So much history has been lost throughout the world. Loving your trip & yes felt right when you burst into song. xxx
Wow! It’s overwhelming in the most glorious way. Every nook and cranny of the sumptuous rooms in Ballindalloch Castle are a visual treat, an absolute joy to experience through the eyes (camera) of our Lalande chatelaine.
Stephanie, Thank you for including the song about Skye. I absolutely loved hearing you sing and your voice is beautiful!! What a huge treat you gave us. Also, your clothes on this trip are so chic and perfect for a Scotland adventure. Loved the tour of the castle and the shopping trip, especially Philip's choice of the tartan for his kilt.
Stephanie, your signing was so beautiful & moving 🤗. Phillip, what bad timing to be sick. I hope your beautiful kilt brightened your day. Thank you for taking us along on this gorgeous trip. My family have roots in Scotland & I haven't been able to visit, so this is very special to me 💓.
😂 oh goodness, this trip so far is awesome. I had to stop bc I couldn’t help rewinding the bits 2 so far, with Philip and his lovely complimenting/beautiful flirting with you Stephanie❤ 1st when you referring to can anything be any more perfect movie scenery-Philip that’s what I think about you. 2nd @6:10 his face/yeah 😂 oh gosh so great and I’m not finished so maybe there will be more! Marie’ I don’t eat oysters but you are a good influence on rethinking them. Thanks for bringing us!
Of all the chateau channels I watch, yours is always my "dessert!" And how wonderful that we got to hear you singing in this one! I'm guessing that you're doing the best PR work for the Royal Scotsman that they've ever had!
Ah what an amazing adventure. Skye is so beautiful, there are a couple on UA-cam Will and Sarah who vlog about their life living in a remote cottage by beautiful surroundings called living the Skye life. An artist who finds beautiful things to paint and then sells them in her Etsy store (she walks she paints). I have some of her prints. Take a look
Breathtaking scenery and wonderful things to see. Love the jumper and can't wait to see Phillip in his autumnal kilt. This is a very special video Stephanie, thank you. 🙂
I’m sorry Phillip is not feeling well. What a shame especially after it took so long for you both to vacation in Scotland. I hope he feels better soon! Looks like shopping may be lifting his spirits a little! 😊
This is such a great video! The shops (saw a beautiful porcelain sculpture of a seated dog that I'd love) , the food, the autumn scenery, the train, the castle. Just about everything!
The strawberry fair isle sweater Philip chose for you is beautiful! And, it just lights up your face! You will certainly remember this delightful trip each time you wear it! And, it has a little extra special meaning coming from The Highlands via a little pop culture. Outlander fans may recall "The Clan Fraser crest features three cinquefoils, strawberry flowers, or Fraises, as they're usually known. The name 'Fraser' even comes from this French word 'fraise', which means 'strawberry'. The clan motto is 'Je Suis Prest', which is old French for 'I am ready'." I found this next bit rather neat as I refreshed my memory looking up the latter. An ancestor of Frézier's was knighted and bestowed the name by the king of France in the year 916 after offering his highness a gift of ripe strawberries. An extraordinary selection, indeed, Philip - now, you feel better soon! The train trip you're taking us along with is simply breathtaking!
Throughly enjoyed today’s tour. I love the tartan you picked Philip it’s gorgeous. The second bedroom of the castle was stunning. The nursery is every kids dream of fun. What a great day. X
Philip I concede on the Bib Overall nagging, and am getting 100% behind the Tartan kilt choice. Who needs Bib Overalls when you can get such a traditional tartan wool awesome kilt. Forgive me I feel like your Southern (great?) Aunt that wants to help. But obviously, not necessary, lol. That tartan shop was Perfection! The Antique Store that Philip was drawn into was wonderful and all of those gorgeous bits- Steph I so enjoyed this thanks! I suppose that these special items give a rare glimpse into Upper Class Patrons of the Arts way back when- it is delightful to see even everyday objects being transported into Art. I love Antiques- I get that from my Grandmother, who kept generations of items, and that wisely thought to save special things that we could later enjoy. I love that you both enjoy and appreciate not only antiques but traditional Crafts that go back many generations. I really enjoy The Chateau Diaries!
Thanks for the soothing song. I love the Skye song. It helped a bit. Having a tough morning in the US. I expect we'll be having many to come. You're channel is a welcome respite from a harsh world.
I went to Skye 50 years ago. The wind blew none stop for a week. It was quite a vacation. I also visited Blair Atholl Castle and Loch Rannoch. I walked round the loch all alone and heard the bagpipes played by a solitary piper in the mountains surrounding the loch. It was a fabulous adventure but I must admit that every castle I visited in my younger days always led me down to inspect the dungeons. Now I spend my days in old western horse barns escaping longevity with the spirit of Commanche. Horses, Barns and Dungeons. Have a wonderful journey. Lots of ❤ from Arizona. ❤
You sang one of my favourite songs so beautifully and with Scotland in view , it was perfection. And in close second was the walk through the castle. What fun! Thank you for sharing.
Loving your videos of Scotland Stephanie. So looking forward to your Glamis Castle visit tomorrow. Been quite a while since I visited there. I was brought up in Dundee. 💕
You will need to share videos of Phillip wearing his kilt! I hope you realize that kilts are very comfortable and they tend to attract other kilts and highland tweeds and such! Check out the "Angels Share" tartan... there are also a significant number of French tartans as well... Phillip enjoy wearing your kilt!!!
You have a beautiful voice. I loved hearing you sing that lovely song
Tweed, antiques, the highlands...how wonderful.

It is lovely to hear you sing again. It has been so long.
Yes... and this is a favorite!
Your voice was nostalgic and mesmerizing
@@Helen-us1ly really
So lovely
@@tedbass927 Yes & when she does, just naturally like this, it’s even sweeter.
Thank you, Stephanie for taking us all along on this wonderful train ride. Hope Philip feels very much better soon
One of your most brilliant vlogs ever! I enjoyed Stephanie singing, along with all the footage of places I would love to visit. Simply beautiful and well put together.
Lovely rendition of the Skye Boat song 👏👏👏👏❤️🏴
Thank you, Stephanie and Philip, for showing Scotland off in such splendid style and with so much appreciation!
Nick is a very handsome man with a warm smile! Good to see him so relaxed... no menus, no paper bags...
The castle is magnificent!!!

Shhh….I think I spotted Nick’s reflection in the train window 🤣
I noticed too !!
Last time I visited Skye, there was no bridge!
Ooooh...3:07...the mystery man revealed (sort of).
Potato cake?!?!...Tattie scone
I Totally Didn't see it either! 😉🙈
Me to 😉

This was so beautiful, every second of it thank you Stephanie, thank you. You sing like an angel. And what a beautiful song as well perfect for the isle of Skye. Now I’m going to watch it again.

Being an American, I have heard Autumnal more times in this one show than i have heard in all 70 years of my life! 😂😂😂
They have started to use the word in the US now.
Skye is beautiful went there about 10 years ago. I still have my Mother’s kilt from this establishment. Autumnal is a more descriptive word than fall. I like the strawberry jumper. 😊
Yes, more evocative…and it gets repeated because it’s a thing with Philip (and Stephanie)😂
😊🍂🍁🌾
@@tinathene - I follow a quite few British vloggers and they all use it. I love it.
I'm an American and I've been using the word autumnal for years.
Oh Stephanie, I got all choked up when hearing your lovely song, during a beautiful walk, you are such a dear and loved treasure to so many
Love and respect from Canada

Love the walk to Skye. The song was lovely as well. Poor Phillip it’s hard to enjoy a trip when your not well.😢
Whiskey before breakfast. Stephanie, you’re a true legend!
just no words! such a splendid trip! Also, your Orange jumper dress has played a blinder Stephanie. Sandi x
I love that tune, but I’ve never been able to make out the words. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for singing that song, & so beautifully.❤️🇨🇦
